Founder
I cofounded Frame (www.useframe.com), a New York based startup focused on enabling e-commerce stores to quickly transform their websites into compelling touch experiences for the tablet. We were funded by top investors and went through Techstars. The Frame technology was acquired by Sailthru (www.sailthru.com), where I continued to develop Frame, in tandem with Sailthru's core product. Sailthru is backed by Benchmark capital and is ranked 30th in Inc's 500 fastest growing companies for 2013.
Initially we started working on a product called The Shared Web. The vision was to be the place to find the best content on the web, around any topic, curated by your friends and experts. We switched to working on Frame about half-way through our runway. Founder Mar 2011 - Mar 2012 · 1 yr 1 mo
